A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairlines, tapered entry/exit strokes, and crisp bracketed serifs that read as engraved and calligraphic rather than blunt. The capitals are narrow and stately with pronounced diagonals and pointed terminals, while the lowercase shows a flowing, cursive-like rhythm with soft joins and occasional swash-like terminals. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, counters are moderately open, and the overall texture is bright and airy, especially at larger sizes where the thin strokes remain prominent.
Well suited to magazine and book typography, pull quotes, and elegant headline settings where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can also work for formal invitations, labels, and premium branding when paired with a simpler companion for supporting text.
The font conveys a poised, upscale tone—formal without feeling stiff. Its slanted, finely cut strokes suggest editorial polish and a hint of fashion or boutique luxury, with a classical, bookish confidence suited to sophisticated voice and presentation.
The design appears intended as a refined italic for conventional serif typography, emphasizing grace, contrast, and a polished reading rhythm. Its letterforms balance traditional structure with expressive italic terminals to deliver a distinctly elegant, editorial character.
Several forms lean into expressive italics: the ampersand-like movement in lowercase, a lively italic ‘f’, and numerals with slender stems and subtle curvature. The contrast and fine terminals reward generous sizing and comfortable leading, where the delicate hairlines can breathe and the italic rhythm stays smooth.
